Cloning a Git Repo that requires core.autocrlf false

If you clone a repo that requires core.autocrlf = false, then the work tree will initailly be checked out without this setting and you will have to revert the initial checkout, set core.autocrlf = false with "git config core.autocrlf false" and then re-checkout the worktree.

To avoid this clone with the -n (--no-checkout) option. Then use "git config core.autocrlf false" and then checkout the worktree.
